Primary Outcome Measures:

The overall cosmetic outcome of wound closure technique (experimental: tissue adhesive Octyl-2-cyanoacrylate versus control: traditional nylon suture). [ Time Frame: thirty days after surgery ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Enrollment:	11
Study Start Date:	April 2008
Study Completion Date:	July 2008
Primary Completion Date:	July 2008 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms	Assigned Interventions
Experimental: 1 Experimental operatory wound closure with liquid bandage (Johnson & Johnson, Skillman, NJ, USA).	Procedure: Bilateral Upper eyelid blepharoplasty Bilateral upper lid blepharoplasty was performed on each patient by the same experimented surgeon using a standard technique. One side (right or left upper eyelid) was randomly chosen for experimental closure with liquid bandage and the opposite eyelid served as the control being used a 6/0 nylon continuous sutures. Other Names: Liquid bandage (Johnson & Johnson, Skillman, NJ, USA) nylon continuous sutures (Ethicon, Norderstedt, Germany)

Experimental operatory wound closure with liquid bandage (Johnson & Johnson, Skillman, NJ, USA).

Procedure: Bilateral Upper eyelid blepharoplasty

Bilateral upper lid blepharoplasty was performed on each patient by the same experimented surgeon using a standard technique. One side (right or left upper eyelid) was randomly chosen for experimental closure with liquid bandage and the opposite eyelid served as the control being used a 6/0 nylon continuous sutures.

Other Names:

Detailed Description:

Tissue adhesives have been safely used in a variety of surgical procedures for several years. Butyl-2-cyanoacrylate (Histoacryl) and Octyl-2-cyanoacrylate (Dermabond) was also studied for cosmetic blepharoplasty with satisfactory results. Liquid Bandage (Johnson & Johnson, Skillman, NJ, USA) is a more flexible formulation of octyl-2-cyanoacrylate available in many american drugstores for home use. Animal models shown that this product could accelerate the healing of lamellar wounds and studies in humans have demonstrated its safety and effectiveness as an occlusive protective film over cuts, abrasion and wound surgery. Liquid Bandage was also used as a temporary wound barrier in clear corneal cataract surgery with satisfactory applicability. There is no study in the literature using this device in blepharoplasty yet.
